Introduce Yourself
1) Faster Disco
Styling, you know you are styling
So turn to the mirror and blow yourself a kiss
It goes just like this
You've done it a thousand times
It's as easy as drinking wine, only now its blood
Here it come again
Treating you so kind
Till it comes again
Leaving you no mind
Your feelings, they flow without reason
So look to the stars above and
Blow it all away
I come without warning
Some call me morning
I wipe all your tears away
The evil ones I kill
Here it comes again
Treating you so kind
Till it comes again
Leaving you no mind
Taking the form of pain this time
It never treats you unkind
Your followers lead them blind
And suck away their lives
Cause yours depends on it
Here it comes again
Chasing the night away
2) Anne's Song
Hey! What?
Oh, nothing, just wondering why it is you're doing
That whatever it is you're doing
Oh yeah, why?
I dunno it just doesn't seem like something you'd be doing
That's all you of all people, know what I mean?
Yeah I know it's been bugging you since the day I was born, huh?
I asked my friend Anne about it
I said Anne, Anne, Anne
What am I supposed to do?
It's been bugging them since the day that I was born
She said "Do what ever the hell you want to do
Now is the time to do whatever you want
And it will still turn out great
You've got the world at your feet."
I never claimed to be different
I only said I was bored
And she's tired of your uniqueness
It sends her over head first
Then the rest of her follows
The breath of life
It never left her hollow
I can do everything
She said, she said with a smile
And I can go anywhere tonight
Cause I'm with Anne
Anne, Anne, Who?
Anne Dagnabit
Island princess queen with the juice
What's this?
I see she brought her whole uptown contingent
First there's Jonny
He always loves a party
He's followed by Vinnie, who's feelin'kinda skinny
He says "Hey Anne I'm starved what you got to eat?"
She says, "Vinnie you're always starving man get away from that fridge, now!"
Here comes Lucy, she's feelin' really sexy
She's followed by her boyfriend
Who'd better not turn around
This time, or he's bound to lose her
And here comes Jamilla
Who's got the cream soda
I can do everything
She said, she said with a smile
And I can go anywhere tonight
Cause I'm with Anne
3) Introduce Yourself
From the day I was born
I took the bull by the horns
And gave you plenty to scorn
Well right on
Then you said in a song
That life was gettin' real tough
But hey I think that you're bluffing
What of it?
Introduce yourself
Right on
Now two decades gone by
And I know that's a long time
Para tiempo means nada nunca
Cause I'm still the same asshole
And I still wet my pants
Every time that I see your face
Who are you?
Introduce yourself
Right on
Hey Mr.Biggs
Hey Mr.Bestall
Hey Mr.Warner
What's up?
Hey Mr.Enigma
Hey Mr.Bigtime
Hey Mr.Epic
What's going on?
Introduce yourself
Right on!
4) Chinese Arithmetic
Candle light
It burns in every hole of your eyes
It's beautiful
How much you'll never realize
So hush my love
There's something I'm to tell you now
Your time has come
Around again my sleepless one
Your friend was young
Hung and plastered
He never knew his own disaster
I think it's good
In fact it was faster
Cause it was you that he was after
Hold me now
As if you'll never let me go
Unhand me now
As if you've always known my name
His love was king
His love was master
He needed more
He needed always
He searched in vain
For love and shelter
In every soul
In every hallway
So you'd thought she'd be sweeter
Than your girlfriend Peter
Well give it a second chance
Cause you've yet to meet her
We got the same ideas
We got the same old fears
They're different colors sometimes
But then hey who cares?
Just years that tear our lives apart
Just like the time when you tried to teach your cousin to walk
He couldn't do it push
You told him twice
Well I do man
But it just don't jive
Tried so hard
To control my behavior
I tried so hard so hard
So hard to believe you
But now I live
Only to deceive you
So Kick
And Scream
And Kick!
5) Death March
There's nothing I'd like more
Than to let you in
But now you're on the other side
And there's no way
To feel your breath of life
Upon my face
Cause with the state you're in
There wouldn't be a trace
Now I wake up every night
With this emptiness inside
Hasn't been the same
Since you left without a trace
Quit the human race
6) We Care A Lot
We care a lot
About disasters, fires, floods, and killer bees
We care a lot
About the NASA shuttle falling in the sea
We care a lot
About starvation and the food that Live Aid bought
We care a lot
About disease, baby Rock, Hudson, rock, yeah!
We care a lot
About the gamblers and the pushers and the geeks
We care a lot
About the crack and smack and whack that hits the street
We care a lot
About the welfare of all you boys and girls
We care a lot
About you people cause we're out to save the world
Yeah!
And it's a dirty job
But someone's gotta do it
We care a lot
About the army, navy, air force, and marines
We care a lot
About the SF, NY, and LAPD
We care a lot
About you people, about your guns
about the wars you're fighting gee that looks like fun
We care a lot
About the Garbage Pail Kids, they never lie
We care a lot
About Transformers cause there's more than meets the eye
We care a lot
About the little things, the bigger things we top
We care a lot
About you people yeah you bet we care a lot
Yeah!
Well, it's a dirty job
But someone's gotta do it
And it's a dirty song
But someone's gotta sing it
Yeah!
7) R 'n' R
Don't put that thing
Too close to my head
It took this long
Just to get ahead
He says he knows for sure
But that he can't decide
Between his decency
And this matter of pride
So he's growing up on time
He's growing up in the middle
And it burns
And it burns
The sun burns
Oh now I can really feel it
How could you ever stand it?
We've got the same ideas
We got the same old fears
Different colors sometimes
But then hey
Who cares?
It's just years that shear our lives apart
Like the
Time you tried to teach your nephew to fart
He couldn't do it push
So he's growing up on time
I'm growing up in the middle
Now's the time to evaluate
Between the love you give
And the love that you take
It's not a matter of opinion
When it comes down to it
It's just a difference of opinion
That much I can take
So I'm growing up on time
I'm growing up in the middle
And it burns
8) The Crab Song
And after all the feelings go
I see I still love you so
I just thought I'd let you know
Now that everything's okay!
And you are on your way
Back, back to where you came
She said with pain
In her heart
It was there from the start
Now I know
Why everything turns grey
But it's our own world we paint
And I want the brightest
I want fluorescence
Every day and night
For the rest of my life
Open your eyes
Won't you?
Can't you see?
You're so beautiful to me
Don't look back
As a matter of fact
There's a ten foot Jack
Who wants to break your back
You stole his girl
You wrecked his world
Now it's your head
That he's gonna twirl
He won't think once
He won't think twice
Cause he knows just what he's gonna do tonight
He will commit a crime
A crime of love
And he won't be happy
'Till he sees your blood
Looking back at when
You left me standing in the rain
Don't look back
As a matter of fact
There's a son of a bitch
And he's digging a ditch
For you my friend
My lucky one
So grab your things
It's time to run
To the other side
Where love takes pride
And your souls
The only thing
That stays alive
Ooo Ooo Oo Oo Ahh!!
Hey! Quit talkin that terminal jive!
Looking back on when
I left you
Crying in pain
As a matter of fact
There's a ten foot Jack
Who wants to break your back
You stole his girl
You wrecked his world
Now it's your head
That he's gonna twirl
He won't think once
He won't think twice
Cause he knows just what he's gonna do tonight
He will commit a crime
A crime of love
And he won't be happy
'Till he sees your blood
Looking back on when
You left me
Standing in the rain
Incredible pain
I understand
You had to be your own person
And that's ok with me
Hurts, Hurts, Hurts
Like a like a motherfucher
Love, it hurts, it kills
Like a sonofabitch
That feeling
It gets me
Down inside
Deep down there
No further
Keep going
Oh man that's right out of my system
9) Blood
It doesn't really matter
The things you say to me
Cause if I had a ladder
Up there is where I'd be
Outta here where the air is cold
You're messing with my mind
Hey!
You do it every time
Hey!
And the season comes around
Once more
I said it doesn't really matter
The things you try to say
It doesn't really matter
You say 'em every day
Right now just give me more blood
Just give it to me deep red
A flowing river crimson
A flowing river burning with desire
It's great, but I never said how great
Hey, you never really asked
Well, I'm asking you right now
So shut up and explain
What's on your mind
In this dark hour
I said it doesn't matter, I can't be that much fatter
And you'll never get as much blood
From a phony Blarney, stone, rock, hard
Granite
Solid
10) Spirit
She looked at me and did the bosa nova
I smiled at her and then just walked away
Then the lights came on and it was over
To my surprise, she wasn't a girl at all
So I packed it up and took to a rock show
Where you can feel the pulse getting stronger
And you can only hear the beat for so long
I asked if there was any way to stop it
No, he said, just smile and act as if
You worship the very ground of which they walk on
No way
A temporary absence of gesture
A hidden meaning known to everyone
A slight misconception of leizure
Don't see how that could hurt anyone I know but
Spirit, excellence, further down the road
These are the tools you'll need further down the road
So lets pack it up and take it somewhere special
From a quintessential, existential nightmare
To a sanctuary waiting in the sun
Home
